Strategic Finance Lead

Overview

Atticus is seeking a strategic finance lead to help scale our mission to provide life-changing benefits to Americans in crisis. In the next two years, we aim to help over 250,000 Americans get access to life changing benefits across Disability, Worker's Comp and Personal Injury cases. For this to happen, we’ll need to raise $100MM+ of asset backed capital, judiciously deploy our Series C round across the existing business and new opportunities, and evolve how the company thinks about unit economics.

As a strategic finance lead, you’ll be a key player in making that happen. In order to align profits and impact, Atticus is above average in complexity when it comes to its business model. The finance function at Atticus is also a core part of our revenue model, so you’ll have an outsized role in shaping our company’s strategy.

You’ll report directly to our VP of Finance and work closely with our Leadership Team to play an integral role in forming our financial plan and guiding our investments. The work is varied, complex, and can be painstaking: any given week will see you digging into our marketing mix, analyzing the LTVs of different fields of law, and creating product workflows to capture better payments data;

all to drive positive financial outcomes for the business.

If you want a role that has the potential to kick start your path to being a CFO, founder, or better investor over time, you should apply.

• Own all work streams on completed financial transactions (e.g., M&A, capital raises)
• Analyze financial statements and financial data to support strategic decisions
• Develop and refine financial models, forecasts, and budgeting processes
• Collaborate with marketing, product, and operations to optimize LTVs and payments data
• Support capital planning and execution to align with business goals

• 2+ years of investment banking experience (Top third of their class)
• 2+ years of startup or growth equity experience
• Experience owning all work streams on a completed financial transaction (e.g., M&A, capital raise, etc.)
• Mastery of all aspects of financial statements
• Comfort managing through ambiguity and working with limited data
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills

We are strongly committed to building a diverse team. If you’re from a background that’s underrepresented in tech, we’d love to meet you.

This is a rare opportunity to join a startup that has strong traction (substantial funding, well-respected backers, tremendous growth, and many happy customers) but is still small enough that you can have a huge impact and play a role in shaping our culture.

We’re a certified B Corporation tackling a critical social problem. Our mission to help people in need drives everything we do, and your work here will touch many lives.

• Medical and dental insurance with 100% of employee premiums covered
• 15 vacation days & ~20 paid holidays each year (including two weeks at end-of-year)
• Free membership to One Medical
• $600/year reimbursable stipend for internet service
• $1,000 reimbursable stipend for education and training outside of work
• Up to $1,200/year student loan repayment assistance
• 401(k) and optional HSA/FSA
• Humane, thoughtful, smart, fun colleagues

This job is fully remote and we’re committed to empowering everyone with flexibility. Work remotely, and travel to LA (on the company dime) as needed to be with your colleagues – usually quarterly, plus offsites. We care a lot about building a great culture and we think some interactions need to happen in person, so we put a lot of thought into retreats, offsites, and other ways to gather.
